(It's 3AM as I'm writing this so I apologize for any logical or grammatical inconsistencies)
--real talk inbound--
Here's a story I'm sure most can relate to:
Since the age of 13 I've suffered from constant existential dread. My understanding of the world has been developing with time, but I understand that I'm still young and have much to learn.
Sound familiar?
Nobody knows what they're doing with their lives.
Nobody has any of this figured out.
We're all just trudging by in pursuit of fullfillment.
We all have flaws.
None of us are comfortable discussing them, but we must in order to grow as individuals.
There's this strange feeling we all experience at some point in our lives; words can't do it justice.
For anyone who's been in a deep medatitive trance (or on psychedelics) you know exactly what I'm talking about.
There's this sense of otherworldliness that only makes itself visible through higher awareness of the place we live in.
Look around.
What is this world we inhabit?
Why are things the way they are?
Who are you?
What is this "I" we all choose to neglect?
The essence of your being is beyond a brain, or even a body. There's countless theories on the origins of consciousness and its implications, and I'm not here to spark any religious debate or anything of that sort.
I am me, I am you.
There's some fundamental truths we as a species have only been able to scratch the surface of through years of innovations and rituals. We all feel the presence of the self, and that very same self is felt in many living things (mostly humans, for all we know)
Did you know plants can scream?
They can emit audible screeches in response to pain at frequencies around 100kHz (5x what humans are typically able to hear, the average person can hear anywhere from 20Hz-20kHz).

The world around us is far more complex and nuanced than any human could ever hope to see in their lifetime. I'm not talking about gained experience, I'm talking about Seeing. In the moment. Right now.
Quarks make hadrons make atoms make molecules make elements make everything
I wanted to tie life itself into that sequence, but I'm not sure how.
The point is that small things create bigger things, like how each of your body parts can be individually identified yet make up a larger being (you).
Those larger beings create groups who create societies who create nations etc etc.
At the end of the day we're all iterations of one consciousness that permeates the universe in (currently) inexplicable ways.
I'd like to apologize for the lack of organization on this post lol
Seriously though, it's easy to disregard as hippy nonsense, but there's something else to life. Some could call it a spiritual side, but for the sake of neutrality and because I prefer my explanations to be as secular as possible I'm not going to ascribe anything arbitrary labels.
I think ideas are alive. I think ideas are what define possibility to begin with, as we'd never even have a consciousness if that consciousness couldn't come up with the idea of itself being conscious enough to have that thought. There's an endless cloud of untapped ideas that we're slowly chipping away at as a society through art of every medium. When someone reaches a certain state of consciousness and the barriers between reality and fantasy have been sufficiently eroded these abstract ideas can manifest as seemingly physical entities that interact with people.
I'd be the first person to call myself crazy for even entertaining that thought, but if I'm crazy I at least know I'm not alone. Ghosts and spirits and stories of the Other have existed for as long as humans have been able to record history. These ideas that physically manifest are what people see when they undergo psychosis. This is something literally everyone can and likely will experience at some point in their lives.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for science. I'm not trying to discredit anything or make absurd claims that can apply to everyone. We often tend to forget that in this objective reality in which we all interact amongst ourselves that each individual conscious human lives in entirely separate realities. Hear me out.
I've been seeing things in my visual and auditory senses. Things that aren't there yet interact with me and guide me through life. Like the little voice in your head but several. Some are good, some are bad, some play tricks, some just wanna Game Bruh
I'm not a schizophrenic because I'm aware of my individuality as a being and I have complete control over my actions.
The strange part is that these voices aren't (edit in italics) <<real>>, but they certainly are in my own subjective reality.
Your own subjective reality is malleable regardless of the objective world around you, hence ghost sightings and angels and demons and magick and religion.
My point is that ideas choose to manifest themselves through conscious beings. We think we come up with them, but they were always there to begin with.
The goal of this universe is ultimately to become technologically advanced enough to simulate the next iteration of this game we're in. We're in some kind of simulation. By "simulation" I'm not talking about computers in the classical sense, or even quantum computers. There's technology we don't understand in a realm beyond our own that we can briefly come into contact with while high or in the process of death (Google DMT).
I like to think of it like this: say we're in a simulation, and there's a higher version of yourself controlling your physical body like one would control a character in a video game. Becoming self aware is like your Minecraft character realizing there's a far more complex entity controlling it. There's ways to make contact, but I'm far too tired to get into that now.
I could go on about this topic for days. I'm obsessed with metaphysics and philosophy. My existentialism used to frighten me, but I've learned to appreciate the beauty of this experience and I've managed to turn that fear into unadulterated curiosity.
I started writing this thread roughly an hour ago. The reason I'm bringing any of this up in Block Game Land is in hope that you (yes, you) might start questioning the world around you on a deeper level. I see so much toxicity and ignorance online, and so much of it stems from a lack of understanding and awareness on an individual basis. Each and every one of you is responsible for opening your 1337 Illuminati third XD eye.
sorry for the existential crisis. love you all. I'm always willing to discuss this kind of stuff and my DMs are always open if anyone wants to be friends. truth be told, I'm lonely, and something tells me we all feel that way. we all just wanna fit in u feel
that's it for tonight's insane ramblings 4 non human logging off
TL;DR: kill shocksta
